Some students benefit from modified worksheets that have diversified displays and content to meet their needs. Consider building in scaffolds to the worksheet for greater independence as well.
Example:
Worksheets can be modified by:
- Reducing the number of problems
- Space out problems in a structured way – such as in boxes
- Spread problems over two pages instead of one
- Limit visual stimuli –such as unneeded picture or words
- Change skill level – i.e., instead of three digit multiplication provide two digit
- Place a model at the top of the worksheet
- Embed checklist into directions
